My friend put one on his talon and the engine blew (#2 cylinder, most common to blow). It basically just leans out the engine, which you really don't want on a turboed car.

Would you really trust a cheesy $25 ecu. Anyways it says it doesn't work on turbo'd vehicles.....

Might want to ask in the reg. protege forum. I just assumed your car was turbo because it was in the MSP subforum. The reason you don't want to put it on is because it will lean out the engine which can lead to detonation. (This is why they also say to use premium gas.) Which can lead to blown engine.
